Format variety
Print products beyond the traditional newspaper
come in a variety of formats. These are supported
by variable web width components. For example,
a fold-cut module enables page trimming to any
length. //wifag’s extensive experience with customized print products means we can provide
optimal solutions for half-cover, free-front, flying
page, among other applications.
In view of today’s competitive environment,
running a press for a daily newspaper alone has
become unsustainable. Owning a press that is
flexible enough to print other products (magazines, weekly papers, journals etc.) is one way to
ensure an attractive return on investment.

with curing technology which enhances the quality
